So, we have no open games at the moment. I'll kick it off again. Here's a pretty full shot of a very rarely seen palm in cultivation. It's growing at Louis Hooper's garden in California. Can you guess what it is? :winkie:

Oh, I guess you're right about Jody's. I guess I just assumed it was needle palm.

It does look like that to me too. It was supposed to be
